So I am curious to see what lighting schedules you guys are running with your 6 or 8 bulb T5 fixtures. If you can also post the bulbs you are running that would be great as it will help to better determine par levels.
 
In my 6 bulb I run front to back
Blue+
Blue+
Coral+
Blue+
Purple+
Blue+

I don't have any par measurements. I run 2 blue+ for 12 hours and the rest come on for u believe 6. I'll have to check to be sure on that. The fixture hangs 9" above the water and I also have a reefbrite strip on the front.

Checking to see if you confirmed the six hours? Also, hard to tell from here, any SPS in there?

Just ordered a six bulb, EXCITED!
 
6 bulb as well for me on display and 6 bulb on the way for frag tank!

3 blue plus
2 coral plus
1 purple plus

125g display, 380 par top of rocks and 200 sand bed. Fixture 10" awl. I'm going to lower it a little this week.
